New York City FC got back to winning ways on Saturday night, defeating FC Cincinnati 4-0 at Red Bull Arena.
Presented by Etihad Airways, here’s Five Points from an impressive display…
MitriGol
Two weeks ago, it took 39 minutes to break down Jaap Stam’s low defensive block. This time, it took just 30 seconds for Alexandru Mitriu021bu0103 to puncture through and set a club record for fastest goal in the process, outpacing Taty’s 2019 strike at Dallas by nine seconds.
It was a brilliant goal too, signaling NYCFC’s intent from the outset to make their incisive play count after the frustrations of the luckless midweek defeat to Toronto FC.
